A beautiful Japanese girl whose parents owned a food store lived near him. Suddenly, without any warning, her parents discovered she was with child.

Not many can hear the truth without inviting their mind to construe it and making it conform to their personal tastes. Therefore, to have a conversation about truth is impossible unless both parties have surrendered their view.

Not to do with a cell in your body.Not to do with a speck of dust in the air.Not to do with a word cast through the lips.Not to do with a sound vibrating across the universe .Not to do with a light over the horizon.Not to do with a thought manifesting a thing.Not to do with a deed done for the good or bad.Not to do with a God created by man.If it is understood that you and I have no promises to fulfill,The time and place that you and I exist are only concepts of the elusive infinite.What does your mind really have to say?

It is always important to use your attention faculties instead of thought. Thought and attention don't mix. Attention is going do you good. Thought on the other hand is not the best thing to base your activities. It's really not a good idea to base your conversations on your thought. Attention is alive as the relative present moment. Thought is not attention. And attention is not thought. You can be unaware that you are using thought instead of attention. Thought is like the cloud and attention is like the blue sky. But the important thing is to recognize the difference between thought and attention. There is always more grace in attention than for thought.

Enjoyed that. But I know the magic of seeing. Yet, the magic of desire transformation... In a way, I don't have to write down 'orange juice' and make a drawing to retrieve the orange juice from the fridge. I know that just by mere looking around, people have this ability to get roughly what they want. I don't really want what I want. Of course, that's what I get. But then what do I have? Or what will I get? Intuitively, I know what is coming my way to a degree but it's an estimate. Generally, most of my time and days have no plan to start. I wake out of bed grateful more or less, then take a few steps and a few more steps (walking). Faithfully or not, I risk not knowing my path most days. If magic is being turned on, I'd say I'm on off most days. Off is my magic. Who knows? Effort has to be not effort if I were to make a desire manifest. Eh?

If I stumble upon the opportunity to have a child, hopefully I do, I would be interested in showing my child magic or parenting on the principle of magic for the first few years plus. Children exposed to magic early on turn out to be cool people. And to keep magic stoked in their life. My parents knew this.

What is the truth?When one meditates, does one forcibly stop the thoughts?Does one make the mind a blank?No, the instructions are to let go the thoughtsTo be mindful, awake, concentrateThen when one lets go, the truth becomes available

This forum acts as a hypersigil - it extends through the fourth dimension and will alter reality in accordance with intent. What your persona shows and does here in this online world, through the creation of feedback loops, has the potential to manifest change in your offline world.

The form of your life appears to be circular, not spiral - you go round and around, returning to the beginning, always the same level, always trapped, always a prisoner of the born, created and conditioned.
